Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The booming development of numerous types of electrical equipment, involving all kinds of consumer electronics, electric tools, and electric vehicles, leads to a heavy demand for ion batteries (IBs). The absence of suitable anode materials with excellent characteristics, safety, cycling stability, and cost, is one of key reasons of the shelved research about IBs.
Among anode materials, carbon group materials (carbon (C), silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), tin (Sn), lead (Pb)), which are accompanied by a low cost, high theoretical specific capacity and low discharge potentials, have been mostly investigated. The emerging anode materials with special structures or compositions exhibit greatly-enhanced electrochemical performances.
This Special Issue will focus on the recent progress in carbon group materials, and the corresponding ion storage mechanisms of carbon group anodes for IBs. It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews that cover all aspects
(e.g., synthesis–structure–property relationships, applications, and future directions) of anode materials and carbon group materials are all welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
